Did anyone see the article today? Chicago AP

"People on popular preseciption heartburn drugs -- Prilosec, Prevacid and Nexum -- seem more prone to getting a potentialy dangerous diarrhea caused by the bug Clostridium Difficile, new research show. C-diff, as it's known, can cause severe dirrhea and crampy intertinal inflammation called colitis.

Something to think about???

Thank goodness I didn't get those side effects when I had my ulcer and was on Prilosec. See, everything good for you is bad in the long run, I guess.

I was hospitalized last month with C.difficle. I was not on any meds at the time of the infection (besides Synthroid and Yasmin). The docs don't know how/why I got it (its not a food poisioning bacteria), but I suspect its just one of those bacterial overgrowths that those with celiac may be prone to. I had never been so ill in my life - the D was water - no substance (sorry, that's kind of gross) and constant vomitting. My lips turned blue and my blood pressure was so low, I couldn't stand without falling over. Very scary. It is supposedly a common overgrowth in those that have been taking antibiotics for a long time (like hospital patients)..... If you have more info on this infection, could you please post?

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      @knitty kitty Thank you so much for all that information! I will be sure to check it out and ask my doctor.  I am just at a loss, I am on my 2nd round of miracle mouthwash and I brush and scrape my tongue and (sorry this is gross) it's still coated in the middle

      Traditional brown rice vinegars are made by fermenting brown rice and water with koji (Kōji 麹). The gluten risk comes from the method of preparing the koji: rice, wheat or barley may be used. Regardless of the starting grain, "koji" typically will be listed as an ingredient, and that term alone does not indicate gluten status. I called Eden Foods regarding their product "Organic Brown Rice Vinegar" (product of Japan) to ask how their product is made. They gave me a clear answer that they >do< use rice and they >do not< use wheat or barley in preparing their koji. FWIW, the product itself does not contain any labeling about gluten, gluten risk, or gluten safety. Based on Eden's statement, I am going to trust that this product is gluten safe and use it.

      Your post nails the practical reality of living well with a celiac diagnosis. The shift from feeling restricted to discovering a new world of cooking—whether through a supportive partner making gluten-free spanakopita and gravy, or learning to cook for yourself—is exactly how many people find their footing. It turns a medical necessity into a chance to build kitchen skills, eat more whole foods, and actually enjoy the process. Your point that the basics—knife skills, food safety, and experimenting with spices—are all you really need is solid, helpful advice. It’s a good reminder that the diagnosis, while a pain, doesn’t have to stop you from eating well or having fun with food.

      You are experiencing a remarkable recovery by addressing core nutrient deficiencies, yet you've uncovered a deeper, lifelong intolerance to fruits and vegetables that appears to be a distinct issue from celiac disease. Your experience points strongly toward a separate condition, likely Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS) or a non-IgE food intolerance, such as salicylate or histamine intolerance. The instant burning, heart palpitations, and anxiety you describe are classic systemic reactions to food chemicals, not typical celiac reactions. It makes perfect sense that your body rejected these foods from birth; the gagging was likely a neurological reflex to a perceived toxin. Now that your gut has healed, you're feeling the inflammatory response internally instead. The path forward involves targeted elimination: try cooking fruits and vegetables (which often breaks down the problematic proteins/chemicals), focus on low-histamine and low-salicylate options (e.g., peeled pears, zucchini), and consider working with an allergist or dietitian specializing in food chemical intolerances.
